Lovely cotton dress

Yes, I recommend this

Finally found a pure cotton school dress for my granddaughter! this is a lovely dress with lovely detail , however is does need a good iron after washing which I don’t mind but won’t suit those who want a wash ,tumble and wear dress.

It looks a bit shapeless in the picture but it's lovely. My child loves the pockets and the bow at the back.

Great quality dress

Yes, I recommend this

I’m so glad I went for the more expensive summer dress. Yes it’s a bit more fiddly to iron and if you don’t want a dress you need to iron then don’t go for this one! But it looks and feels like such high quality and very smart on.

Lovely look dresses but they shrink

No, I don't recommend this

Lovely to find 100 percent cotton summer dresses. Luckily I read other reviews regarding the dresses shrinking when washed, so I sized up. Washing instructions were followed and the dresses were not tumble dried, however they still shrank considerably.

Definitely needs ironing

No, I don't recommend this

I actually returned this item as I was so disappointed with it. One of the most expensive on the high street, but came out of the machine like a rag. Really difficult to iron. Much preferred the pack of two which wash beautifully and were only a couple of pounds more (for both). Avoid unless you really enjoy ironing!

100% cotton (yay) but has downsides

Plus side : 100% cotton (difficult to find) Downsides: frivolous bow which is time consuming to get right every morning. Gaps between bottom button and material is too wide - doesn’t not look right. Creases easily. Overall , a bit disappointing but kept for the material. However , had to buy a different one as my little one doesn’t like the gaps and finds the bow a hindrance.

Nice pure cotton dress

Yes, I recommend this

Pure cotton dresses are difficult to find, it will be good to have more than one model but this one is nice and it has a bow so that's the difference versus my daughter's previous one.

Great to have an 100% cotton option

Yes, I recommend this

Really good dresses and one of the few available in 100% cotton. Please do more cotton styles! My daughter hates wearing polyester when it's hot (and who can blame her!).

Terrible Shrinkage

No, I don't recommend this

Terrible shrinkage even when washed at a temperature lower than the washing instructions. Very disappointing as it’s difficult to find pure cotton school dresses.

Will shrink significantly after washing

No, I don't recommend this

The cotton is lovely , well made summer school dresses . The reason I am giving only 3* is that unfortunately it shrinks when washed significantly despite washing at 30 degrees and not 40 as recommended on the instructions . I would suggest going up 2-3 sizes to get the size you need after washing
